Planner vs. Journal
There are so many arguements that can be made about which is better. But truely, a Planner or a Journal is a personal choice. Each has it’s advantages and it’s disadvantages.
What is a Planner?
A Planner is like a giant wall calendar that you can carry with you. There are a variety of sizes and designs to choose from. Planners are mostly preprinted with the dates in a monthly, weekly or daily format; by the calendar year or the academic year. This makes them basically unchangeable.
While they are more structured and great for beginners. Used to keep track of appointments, special days or events, work schedules and class assignments. They only work when used in a specific order and tend to lead to the use of multiple planners.
What is a Journal?
A journal isn’t something you can just purchase, it’s more of a creation. A reflection of who uses it. Bullet Journals or #BuJos have become the new planner, but with bonuses. Almost like multiple planners in one place.
BuJos are unique to it’s creator. The internet has become full of social media accounts dedicated to users sharing their BuJo pages for ideas and inspiration to other Bujoers.
Bullet Journals can be as simple “minimalistic” or as intricately colored as you want. They can be used to do monthly/weekly/daily lists, track “habits” or even to plan a trip. BuJos are completely flexible and you choose how you want to use it.
If you haven’t done any research on how to use a BuJo, they can be very overwhelming. Don’t just jump in with both feet. Test the waters a bit and make it work for you.
